Formulae Triangles  

Consider this triangle:

These are the equations you can get from this triangle:

Left =

 

Right =

 

Top = left ´ right

 

Questions:

1.     If left is 4 metres, and right is 6 seconds, what is top?

A. Top = left ´ right = 4 metres ´ 6 seconds = 24 metres seconds = 24 m s

2     If a car travels at a speed of 20 metres per second for a  time of 4 

       seconds, how far does the car travel?

A. distance = speed ´ time

            = 20 ´ 4 seconds

            

            = 80

                    

                                = 80 metres
